My cat is pregnant and seems to be having signs of labor such as nesting and restlessness

Question

she is only 56 days gone so im a bit worried as i have read that kittens wont survive under 58 days gestation....anybody know if this is true or not or any advice???

Answer 1

Apparently they can show that sort of behaviour for the last 2 weeks so i wouldnt be too worried yet. Her milk will start to come through just before she gives birth (12-48 hours before) so that would be the sign id look out for. My cat is pregant too and due next week, shes restless, very affectionate, l*****g a lot and been looking for a quiet place to hide in, so im just waiting for any signs of milk from her nipples before i start to panic. As for survival under 58 days gestation, im not sure, but hopefully she'l hang on a few more days!

Good Luck.

Just to add, my cat had her kittens 2 days later and it was more like a white waxy substance than milk on her nipples the eve before.
